“Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars.”

Here we are again with the Friday Face Off meme created by Books by Proxy . This is a great opportunity to feature some of your favourite book covers. The rules are fairly simple each week, following a predetermined theme (list below) choose a book, compare a couple of the different covers available for that particular book and choose your favourite. Future week’s themes are listed below. This week’s theme:

Moon “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars”

This week the first book that sprang to mind was Moon Called, the first of Patricia Briggs’s Mercy Thompson series:

There are a lot of covers for this book and some of them are very unusual – like the gates with the red eyes behind them – looks a bit creepy – not quite sure it’s got the right vibe for this particular book. Anyway, my favourite – well, I’d probably go for the one I’m most familiar with but actually I quite like the French version:

Which is your favourite?

Next week – ‘Mummy’

Future themes:

09/06/2017 – Mummy “It shuffles through the dry, dusty darkness”

16/06/2017 – Guitar “You couldn’t not like someone who liked the guitar”

23/06/2017 – Cat “In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this”

30/06/2017 – Hat “It is always cruel to laugh at people, of course, although sometimes if they are wearing an ugly hat it is hard to control yourself “

07/07/2017 – Gold “All that is gold does not glitter”

14/07/2017 – Boats “The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea, in a beautiful pea green boat…”

There are some strange covers for this book – a couple of the ones here look like they’re trying to be scary – I wouldn’t call these books scary – I mean they have their moments but they’re definitely not horror.

Sorry I’m sooo behind in responding – I fell horribly behind over the week-end. I LOVE your book choice – it is spot on and yes… I’m with you – I love the fifth cover with the gates and the red eyes – very creepy and atmospheric, but your favourite is a very close second:). I was all set to go with a mother next week – until I noticed the Proxy stipulates mummification. At least there are plenty books around that fall into that category. Have a great week, Lynn.
